BIG DEMAND FOR LOCOMOTIVES.
street Rail Mills Unusually Busy-ores
from the northwest.

A Philadelphia despatch says the last
week has been one of considerable activity
in this State among the manufacturing
Industries A number of large iron fur
naces and mills which have been idle for
some time have again gone into operation
after making light concessions to their
employees. This, it was thought, could be
done, as there was brisk business pros
pect FOR this fall. The Bald win locOmo-
tive works, i'll this city, are employing
2OOO hands, and for the six months of the
present year turned out 3S locomotives.
they now have orders on hand for $50,
and the output for the year will, it is esti-
mated, reach $50, the largest number ever
known. Labor Of all kinds here is en-
ployed; there are no strikes of conse-
quence, and brisk fail business is ex-
pected.
The steel rail combination, which met
at Long Branch on August and signed a
new agreement, is said to he disappoint
ment to the members. for the reason that
1t could make no guarantee of prices. The
result is already seen in the falling off of
81 ton i'll the price of steel rails tor fu-
ture delivery. Large sales, amounting to
5000 tons, are SAID to have been made to
the Virginia Construction company and
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at from
S3i to s3S per ton. All the mills are said
to be filled with orders to keep them 90
ing until October. There has been a
largely increased capacity of production
ana this is the reason that there could be
no guarantee of prices. The combination,
however, was able to offer assurances that
there would be no return to the disas-
trous prices before the combination was
formed.
weakness is noted in the prices of pig
IRON during the last week. This Is not be-
cause there is any less demand than a
week ago, but because large number of
furnaces have started up and created a
sharper competition. The same stage of
affairs applies to many articles of manu-
featured iron and steel. The fact seems
to have been overlooked that the resump-
ton of work IN the Connelsville coke
region has put in operation large num-
bers of iron and steel producing estab-
lishments which were compelled to sus-
pend for want of coke. The demand for
this fuel is now greater than the facilities
offered for its shipment.
Prominent iron men here state that the
new company of Western and Eastern
capitalists which purchased the new Yer
million and Gogebic iron fields in the
Northwest has agreed to raise 81 900. 600
for their development. The new company
Will make arrangements to get its ores to
the furnace in the East by securing
If possible lower rates of freight by getting
return cargoes of anthracite from the East
Efforts will be made to have the ores in
troduced as far east as the Lehigh, Sus-
quehanna and Schuylkill valleys.

M'GLYNN'S NEW ALLY,
Rev Father Malone to Appear with Him
at a Lecture in Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The lecture of DR..
McGlynu before Division 3, Ancient Order
of Hibernians, in Brooklyn next Friday
evening, for the benefit of the widows
and orphans of that society, is assuming
Importance FROM political point of view,
The efforts of a portion of the division to
prevent the doctor from being invited to
lecture were unsuccessful after causing
much comment.
The latest phase of the affair is that the
eminent and venerable priest, Father Syl-
vester Malone, will probably be present
at the lecture. Father Malone has long
been known as an ardent friend of DR.. Nc
Glynn, but he has hitherto refrained from
openly indorsing the latter's position. His
brother, Edward Malone, NJ. D., will in
troduce DE- McGlynn. He said to-day,
when asked If he regarded this as consist,
ent with his standing as a good Catholic :
Certainly do Ia my estimation and
that of my brother, Rev Sylvester Ma
lone, DR.. McGlynn was unjustly eXcom-
munlcated, and as good Catholics we must
follow the dictates of our conscience
which forbids us from severing our con-
nectlon with him."
The quarrel in the Hibernians over this
matter is attracting much attention in
Brooklyn The friends of DR.. McGlynn
assert that his opponents are being insti
gated by Boss Mclaughlin, because OF
Or. McGlynns influence in the united
labor party.

The Hay Fever Season.
From the New York NALL

from the New York MaiLI
The pollen of the ragweed is ripe, and
every passing breeze that stirs the foliage
of that outrageous plant bears upon its
wings the seeds of many convulsive
sneeze. 1t is the hay fever season, and
the victims of that malady will soon be in
full blast. They will flee to the noun
tains, and find the pervasive pollen there
before them. They will go to the sea
shore, and the first land breeze that blows
will bring Inflammation on its breath.
Pretty soon several hundred red-nosed
victims will meet somewhere up in New
Hampshire, condole with each other as
best they may, pass resolutions setting
forth that the possession of hay fever is a
sign of superior intellect, and be solicited
by active agents.

The "Reform Administrator. q"
From the n. Y. Trlbune.1

While President Cleveland pretends to
be Jealous for the establishment of a non
partisan civil service he appoints 1873
postmasters in rs months, or l417 each
month, and 81 each working day, over
seven each working hour, and one in
little over eight minutes for the entire
time he has acted as president. And this
is one of the seven departments only /;
how many appointments have been made
in other departments we are not told.
This necessarily means that the presi-
dent has made no real effort
to ascertain the qualifications of per-
sons appointed. But in most of the 49,,
600 cases experienced, faithful and tho
roughly competent officials were removed.
or requested to resign, in order to make
room for the partisans of whose fitness
the president knew nothing and took no
time to inquire. The one thing he GER
tainly knew was that worthy and faithful
men were ousted because they We're re-
publicans, and that inexperienced and in
many cases less competent men were ap-
pointed because they were democrats.
A party which calls this reform shows
no respects for the Intelligence of the peo-
pie.

the United Labor Party.

NEW YORK, Aug. pa great socialist
mass meeting was held in Cooper Union
last night to denounce Henry George and
the united labor party. 1t was very
demonstrative affair and the hall was
crowded. On the appearance of two or
CARNATIONS with red flags the audience
rose and shouted with delight. Every
denunciation of Henry George was inter
rupted by Kisses and cheers. Resolutions
were adopted saying working men of the
city repudiate the Henry George platform;
that he aided the capitalistic class by cast
ing odium on the body of the earnest
workers and thinkers who fought the bat
ties of humanity and progress, calling on
organized labor to rescue the labor move
ment from boss Henry George, pledging
the socialists to act politically against all
existing parties including the George
party until genuine labor party is form
ed, calling the opponents of George in the
united labor party to elect delegates to
the conference, September A. at Webster
hall, inviting all the trade and labor or
CARNATIONS to send delegates to the con-
ference with u view to separate political
action.

How to PROSPER.

From the St. Johnsbury Republican,
If our Vermont farmers would cultivate
their home markets and repeal the iniquit-
GUS law taxing mOrtgaged real estate,
they would be sure to prosper. In raising
New York, Vermont never can compete
with the West, and it is folly to think of
it for a moment. But if our farmers
would raise the garden stuff for which
there is an abundant and unlimited de-
mand in ali our towns and large villages
if they would devote themselves to the
manufacture of lt-edged butter and
cheese if they would make speciality
of horses or cows or hogs, as some of
them have of merino sheep If, IN short,
they would look the situation in the face
and make the best of it, they would make
money and the country would blossom
like a rose.
